# haxe-ui
  • b
    It doesn’t get too much better than that sadly
  • b
    Hey @User was wondering how long you have been working on haxeui, were you the one that started the code?
  • b
    gosh... yeah, i started it... no idea how long ago... haxeui now is actually haxeui2
  • b
  • b
    first commit on Mar 5, 2013... crazy
  • b
    but it was a totally different lib in fairness
  • b
    Cool, I have as much UI love as you. Probably help someday as with Josh, love UI.
  • b
    I met Josh in SanFran in 2005 at the Adobe component dev summit, were were flown out by Adobe.
  • b
    I made UI components for years
  • b
    nice 🙂
  • b
    It's funny because these two frameworks do very different things, I havn't done anything with haxeui yet, going to make some tests
  • b
    i think there is a cross over... but one of things i didnt like about haxeui1 was that it was "openfl only" and as i was writing it i realised (slowly) that it could target all / any frameworks
  • b
    i tried to make haxeui1 codebase "framework agnostic" but it was just a bad idea... it was easier to start again
  • b
    haha
  • b
    I just wrote this mantra for myself today, ironic
  • b
    It turned out to be much faster to “do it right” than to keep hammering my head against the past.
  • b
    yeah, thats about how i felt... i tried and almost just gave up with haxeui to be honest
  • b
    i didnt like haxeui1 and i didnt have the energy / time to write it again
  • b
    ... ... but then i did some tests and i thought "fuck it, lets try" (again)
  • b
    Well I can see the work put into it, nice job. 🙂
  • b
    thanks, much appreciated 🙂 Lemme know if you get any bother 😉
  • b
    Will do, I will be using haxeui and feathers for all my stuff.
  • b
    I am still learning the cliff edges in the haxe ecosystem
  • b
    by the time I am done researching I probably can help dev lime and openfl.
  • b
    I love having an OS compiler
  • b
    Adobe left me with corporate hate 😉 hehe
  • b
    heh heh, so you used to work for them? Flex?
  • b
    Well they offered me a job when Flex went to Apache, I was PMC/committer and wrote the guts of the compiler used in Apache Royal
  • b
    I was using Flex and selling Flex components 🙂
  • b
    gotcha... nice 🙂
